Yes, Virginia, there is a St. Patrick

Dear When Falls the Coliseum,

I am 8 years old and a cute, innocent little girl. My friends told me that there is no such thing as St. Patrick, and that St. Patrick’s Day was just an excuse to let grownups get drunk. Are my friends right?

Sincerely,

Virginia

Dear Virginia,

As I sit here at my computer savoring my fourth Irish coffee of the morning (top o’ the morning to you!), I can’t help but to feel melancholic about your question. In a word, your friends who have been saying these things you asked about are spreading vicious lies to hurt your feelings and confuse you, or they are retarded, one or the other. Are your friends retarded, Virginia? It’s okay if they are, but you can do better. Maybe your parents are overprotective. I am SO SICK OF PAREnnts that treat there kids with kidgloves! Letm e tell you, my my parents didn’t’ tprotect me from ANYTHING< and I turned out to be a REALLY COOL GUY with a pretty bad headache rightnow and I’m pretty sure I feel another  blackout comingexkmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Sorry I past out on the keyboard facedown. To get back to yor question, when have you ever been to Ireland? Virginia, THERE ARE NO GODDAM SNAKES IN IRELAND. NONE> And do you know why that is? Can you answer that little question, Virginia I need another Irish coffee excxuse me? No? Because none fo those oh so wise friends of yours haven’t’ been to Ireland either? It’s because St. Patrcick himselef, the patron saint of Ireland and of paralegals, drove those mothers out of there!

Virigina, if ther were no St. Patrcik, there would still be snakes in Ireland. Can’t you see that? What is it gon a take to make you see that? Can’t I get through to you? Why did you  have to meka me so sad like this, vrigigina? The children toddday don’t have nothinggg to loookkf orewared to. Oh theymaekke me so sad viriginiia.

When that two drunk girlsss outside the barr gett inatao an argulment, that eascalates into showuting match to calawing and hairpullinlgll fisticuffs, st. patrikc is them with there. When another women gets past out drunk and the friends holds her hair out of the way so that she doesn’t’ voimit corned beefa nd hash into her ownha ir, St. PARTckic is there. When a man inadvrerenetly gazes with lust at another man’smy girlifreiend, than the second man punches outh the frist man and pounds the liibing crud out of him the frirst man, ST> PRICKTA is there.

He’s also in the Catholic mass that we all attended that morning,b ecause that’s the really meankning of St. PRACTICK”S Day.
